INTRADO by Hyundai will make its debut at Geneva next week and is regarded as the most advanced concept yet to be revealed.

The hydrogen fuel-cell is designed to give a glimpse of future motoring which is easy to drive and intuitive to interact with.

The design is of a crossover SUV with a carbon-fiber frame.

Hyundai says that this frame is a reflection of its intent to build cars that are lighter, better to drive and more easily repairable.

In order to do this, it has created a new manufacturing process that has “the potential to change the way cars are made”.

In essence, the strength of that central structure means that exterior panels can be much lighter, cheaper and easier to repair.

The Intrado’s fuel-cell powertrain uses a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery to give a range of up to 600 km while emitting only water.

Intrado promises more responsive and agile driving dynamics, thanks to the reduced weight and greater efficiency of its powertrain.

Intrado is the first Hyundai to have been developed under the direction of Peter Schreyer, who became President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Group in January 2013.

He commented: “Effortless and sensual, Intrado reflects the open-mindedness and constant renewal of the Hyundai brand. It also shows that Hyundai wants its customers to rediscover the joy and freedom that should be associated with personal mobility.”

Intrado takes its name from the underside of an aircraft’s wing — the area that creates lift.

The car’s advanced materials and technologies also draw inspiration from aircraft.
